Seaside Reef/South Cardiff State Beach surf guide

Surf: Quality deep-water reef peak, lefts dominating. Outside is a thick, hollow, ledgy take-off after which the wall backs off in the middle before reforming on the inside. Needs big W swells with medium tide. High tide creates backwash. Highly competitive crowd. Directions: Access is via large paved parking lot off 101.
